Disclaimer:I don't own Kingdom Hearts which sucks but Shyra is mine.
We left the house and followed Kage through the streets until we made it to a large building with a porch under a wooden awning. The man looked at Kage with a smile and said "I was hoping to see you today. A guy who looked to be a little older then you came by and gave me this to give to you." As he handed him a note.
Kage tuned to face Riku and I as he opened the note and read it over. He frowned, folded it up, and said "Thanks for this. I need a few more outfits of their sizes and a traveler's cape for each of them."
The man looked Riku and I over before he headed in the shop and brought out a large stack of packages and handed them to Kage. Kage handed half the stack to me, half the stack to Riku, and then reached inside a pouch on his belt and pulled out several large coins.
He handed them to the man who counted them and smiled. "Let me get those capes now." The man said as he went inside the store once again. He came out with two thick black hooded capes. He handed one to me and one to Riku before he smiled at Kage and said "I suppose you're going to go see the friend who had me give you that letter now if I'm right."
Kage smiled and said "Of course. Thanks for it." and led us back to his house. Once we were away from the shop his entire demeanor changed. He went from happy to upset, angry, and confused.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"The two of you are going to have to see something I didn't want either of you to have to see. Something I was stupid enough to think you wouldn't have to see." Kage said as he placed his hand on the tree. Riku and I placed out hands on his shoulders, he said the spell and went to his home.
He headed straight to his armory and put on several weapons. His twin swords, two chest belts of throwing stars, a set of knives on each hip, and he tucked a knife in to each of his boots.
"What the hell is going on?" Riku asked Kage.
The young ninja just let out a sigh and said "Once again some stupid fool decided to try and have me killed. At least this time they choose an assassin with a sense of honor. Let me read the note to you guys." I gave a nod and he began to read.
"To Kage of Shyra, I have been sent on a mission to claim your life. I am giving you one opportunity to fight me face to face. It would be in you best interest to accept this offer or I will strike you down from a distance although it would be my preference to fight you. I will be waiting outside the village by the river for you. You have until sunset and then I come for you." Kage read to us.
"So you're going to fight this guy to what point?" I asked Kage.
"He's a ninja who makes a living by doing missions. His mission is to take my life and he won't give up on his mission until he dies so I have to kill him or he'll come after me again until he kills me. For one of us to keep living one of us must die. I wish you guys didn't have to see this but you must. I can't leave you two alone in case I don't come back." Kage said sadly.
"He's another flesh and blood human. You're just going to kill him?" I asked.
"Sora, let him do what he has to. This is his life and he has to live it the way he has to." Riku said.
I watched as Kage pulled out a small pouch and put it on his belt he had around his waist.
"What's in the pouch?" I asked Kage.
"It's a needle filled with a sedative from the hospital. After I fatally would him I'm going to inject it in to him so he passes out and doesn't feel the pain of bleeding to death. I may be a killer but I'm not without a heart. We need to go now." He said as he headed out the door of the house and to the river.
When we made it to the river there was a lone man standing by the riverside with his feet in the water. He smiled as he said "Hello. Who are you guys?"
"I'm Kage of Shyra and these are my charges Sora and Riku. Who are you? I can tell you aren't from Shyra." Kage said to the strange man.
"My name is Jase. I'm not permitted to share my village with you because I was the one who sent the letter and as it said am here to try to take your life. Do you have something you would like for me take as your final request if I'm the winner of the fight and kill you?" The stranger said.
Kage pulled out the needle and said "There’s a sedative in here that enough to knock a person out instantly. I intend to use it on you if I fatally would you so you don't feel the pain of bleeding to death. I would like for you to use it on me if I'm the one to receive a fatal wound." Kage said.
Jase smiled and said "I had something similar to that in my possession as well. Would you like to give me another request?"
Kage shook his head and said "Nothing else of you."
Jase gave a nod and said "Perhaps you would like to give some instructions to your charges to go to the village and see another or maybe to go with me. They look like they would be quite a bit of fun."
Riku blushed a deep shade of red, Kage shook his head with a slight blush on his cheeks, and I was just confused.
"Very well then. Since we're done talking I suppose we fight now?" Jase asked as he drew out a single katana. Kage gave a nod as he drew his twin swords.
The two of them stood there faceing each other for several seconds before Jase threw a knife at Kage. Kage quickly knocked it aside with his shorter sword.
Jase quickly charged and swung out but Kage blocked the katana with his longer sword and had the shorter one held slightly above his head in a loose grip with his elbow bent. I watched as he quickly brought the shorter sword around in a full circle quickly.
I watched as Jase's head fell from his shoulders and he fell down dead. He began bleeding and that was too much for me. I looked away crying from the many emotions I was feeling. I was afraid of how easy Kage could kill someone, disgusted by the fact that I had just watched a man killed, frustrated that I didn't do anything about it, and most of all embarrassed by my reaction. Riku took me in his arms and my shaking was eased a bit.
"It's okay Sora. It's over." Kage said as he sheathed his swords and walked over to us.
"You just killed him like it was nothing. Cut his head right off and didn't even flinch. How can you do that?" I sobbed from Riku's arms.
"It's like Riku told you. This is the life I live. I hope you don't have to do what I just did. I probably won't fucking sleep tonight though. This never gets easy. You have to do what you have to in the moment you have to do it to live. After it's done then you can feel sorry for it but until then you just have to do. Let's go home now.
I tried to walk but my legs felt like iron and jelly at the same time. Every time I tried to stand I would fall. I tried to stand three times before I shook my head and frowned. "I'm too fucking weak to walk after seeing that." I said, still in tears.
"Can you carry him or do you want me to?" Kage asked Riku.
"Can you please?" I asked Riku looking in to his eyes. He gave a nod and lifted me in to his arms. He stood up and we returned to Kage's home.
When we got to the bedroom Kage said "Stay here with him Riku. I have to make a report to Tenchi." Riku gave a nod and Kage left.
I looked at Riku and tried to sit up but I was shaking too bad to sit. I looked at Riku and frowned. "How can you stand to put up with someone as weak as I am?" I asked him.
"You're not weak at all Sora. You're a brave and strong person. What we just saw happen even scared me." Riku said as he drew me in to a hug.
"If it scared you so bad then how come you're able to be like this to me?" I asked Riku, wondering what his secret was.
He smiled and said "Love is more powerful the fear. I'm able to be strong to protect the one I love from losing his grip on reality."
I looked deeply in Riku's eyes and said "Is that what you were so afraid to tell me. You're in love with me?"
He gave a nod and said "You seem to be taking it well."
I smiled at him and said "Why do you think I told you that I would never turn my back on you no matter what? I love you too."
Riku leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips. It was hardly a kiss really. It was just a quick, soft brushing of his lips on mine and I wasn't even sure that it had really happened.
I reached up and pulled him down on to me. I kissed his lips and held the contact for several seconds before I pulled away. I smiled at him and said "I guess we're boyfriends now." He gave a nod and pulled me in to his arms were we just sat for a few minutes until I felt myself drift off to sleep just like that.
We left the house and followed Kage through the streets until we made it to a large building with a porch under a wooden awning. The man looked at Kage with a smile and said "I was hoping to see you today. A guy who looked to be a little older then you came by and gave me this to give to you." As he handed him a note.
